Purple Leaf City is divided into 80 districts, and each district has a district mayor, who is usually a scholar from a small noble family, because this is a noble fiefdom, so their district chief is directly appointed by the big Nobles appoint themselves!Enjoy the same rights and status as ordinary officials of the empire, and the country also recognizes it. Of course, if you want to leave the aristocratic fief and truly become a part of the national official system, you still need to go to the provincial government to take various exams again. After that, the country will hire it!

"Learn literary and martial arts, and sell goods to the emperor's family!" 'Here in Ziye City, the salary may be higher than the salary given by the state.

But don't forget that the highest official position in a noble fiefdom is to manage all the fiefdoms except the city lord's mansion. In terms of great prospects, it is of course impossible to compare with the imperial court!

Talent is the most important strategic resource in any era!The country and the great nobles are also constantly competing for these resources. From practitioners to great scholars who study, they are the resources most needed by all forces!

On the surface, the national law stipulates that the nobles with fiefs can recruit as many private troops and officials at all levels to manage the place!In fact, the establishment of nobles has never been full!

Generally speaking, it is impossible for the private army to exceed the limit and exceed the number. Nowadays, the emperor is very suspicious and the desire for power is extremely strong. Few nobles dare to recruit the private army, let alone exceed the legal number, which is extremely illegal. Taboo!

As for scholars, the fief urgently needs such administrative talents to manage it, but because there is no major development in the future, the empire has no suspicion at all of recruiting scholars to manage the fief for the nobles!

Because you don't even want to recruit decent talents!Basically, talented scholars who focus on studying in various colleges will choose to stay in various administrative departments of the empire after graduation, even if they are willing to start from the smallest position at the bottom of the local government!Because luck is good, and you have real talents and learning, then you can work from the local government to di duzhong yang, then leave the cabinet and become an official, and after decades, you will become the mainstay of the imperial court under one person and above tens of millions of people It is not impossible!

Therefore, the bureaucratic talents recruited by the nobles are basically those scholars who have been squeezed out in the local area and have no hope of promotion. They have given up the idea of ​​continuing to be promoted, and they know that their abilities are limited, so they will accept the olive branch of the nobles. , become an administrative official in the fief!

The officials of the Wisteria Empire are divided into nine ranks, the lowest level is the rank nine sesame officials, and the district chiefs of the 80 urban areas of Ziye City are such ninth rank officials, and they are only rank nine sesame officials in the noble fiefdoms. Out of the fief, you are nothing, just a scholar who is not outstanding!

The 80 urban districts are also divided according to the numbers. Located in the southeast corner of Ziye City and belonging to No. 80 urban district on the edge of Ziye City, the private manor of Wang Meng, the head of the district, has been dimly lit and quiet.It's nearly midnight, and those who should rest can fall into sweet dreams!

Wang Meng is a depressed scholar, with the fifth level of God Bless, born in a small baron noble, very lucky to be able to study in the provincial capital 'Yingmin College', studying hard for more than ten years, just to Become famous all over the world.

But this road is tortuous and dangerous, and it is rough!There are so many baron families in the empire. This kind of little nobleman has no fiefdom, and can only rely on his status as a nobleman to receive routine subsidies from the empire every month. Therefore, to be honest, this kind of little nobleman is better than ordinary people!

The empire doesn't care at all about raising such small nobles with a false name but little power. The empire only cares about those big nobles with fiefdoms!

Wang Meng was not reconciled, so he worked hard, hoping to use his own efforts to rise to the top and elevate his rank to the top!

But hope is good, reality is cruel!There are people in the court who like to be officials, so there is a reason for this saying that has existed for thousands of years!

After graduating, Wang Meng got a small position. He worked there for five years, and then he discovered that many students who were not as knowledgeable as him were promoted one after another, but he was the only one who was not appreciated or cared about.The reason is that there is no one on top of him!

If no one speaks for you, no matter how talented you are, you will be buried!

Wang Meng understood the cruelty of reality, and also understood why his father kept sighing. Come to think of it, he had gone through this process before?

So he left the official system of the empire, resolutely took over the olive branch thrown by Ziye City, and became a small district head in Ziye City, in charge of the urban area numbered 80, and now he has worked here for three years up!

In the past three years, through his own hard work, the law and order in his jurisdiction has been good, almost to the point that he does not close the door at night and does not pick up things. The business is prosperous, he treats the people very well, never puts on the aristocratic airs, easy-going and hospitable, the people respect him very much!

Therefore, he is going to be promoted soon. Purple Leaf City has just passed the official assessment, and there is an internal news that because of his outstanding political achievements, Wang Meng is about to be promoted to a sixth-rank official and become the head of a district in control of 40 urban areas!

The common people are very happy. This is the honor Mr. Wang deserves. You must know that it is not so easy to be promoted as an official of the nobles. You must have real talents and real learning.

In fact, duke-level nobles have a privilege. Once every five years, they can recommend 10 government officials to the empire, and the empire will appoint them as appropriate.

This is also the original intention of Wang Meng to choose this path!

Of course, the current Wang Meng doesn't see this long way out!

Because he is now a member of the Great Detective Service!Not the lowest member yet, but the head of a place with little power!The so-called head of a place refers to all the secret agents of the detective department within this range, and he has the right to command and mobilize!

Wang Meng never thought that his down and out luck would be reversed and he would be spotted by the detective department.

In the first year he came to Purple Leaf City, someone came to take him under him!In the past two years, he provided a lot of information, including military, agricultural, commercial, and various underground black market information, and made great contributions to the detective department's thorough grasp of the current situation of Ziye City!Therefore, last month, he was honorably promoted to the chief of the Purple Leaf City Detective Department, and he controlled more than [-] spies stationed everywhere!

This is an official position recognized by the empire, reaching the sixth-rank official position!And secretly promised that when his official position reaches the fifth rank, he will be promoted to the first-class viscount!

Can Wang Meng's heart yearning for a high position not be excited?He is dead set on the detective department.

Although Purple Leaf City treats him well, what is this compared to the promising detective department?

Wang Meng is a jackal hiding in the dark, ready to slash Ziye City at any time to achieve his own way to reach the sky!He has become thoroughly utilitarian.Become a dog of the detective department!

His ten years of hard study were not in vain, and he always came up with a lot of ideas to increase efficiency. He felt that he was about to flourish!

But today he is standing in front of this man in a white robe and a pale mask. Such ambition and madness are unimaginable, because this man in front of him is too scary, so scary that he stands in front of you and doesn’t speak. , you will feel a chill seeping from your bones!

Wang Meng didn't know why the special envoy was suddenly sent by the top, and he was the leader of the team. When he came, he brought more than 200 mysterious people in the same costume as him!After taking out the token of the detective office, the lord ordered him to arrange for his group to hide in a secret place and wait for a certain opportunity.

So Wang Meng arranged these guys with great backgrounds in the underground secret room of his private manor!

Everything has been going well all the time, but today, this masked man who has reached the status of a big boss, suddenly sent him to come quickly through a voice transmission.Wang Meng got up from his concubine's quilt in the middle of the night, his clothes were not neatly dressed, and hurriedly came down to this manor under the protection of the guards.

At a glance, he saw the man in white waiting in the wind pavilion with his back turned to him, and immediately ran to him, knelt down on one knee, and shouted: "My subordinate Wang Meng was ordered to come, I wonder if my lord...?"

The man in white turned around, his pale mask became more terrifying under the moonlight!Wang Meng felt that he was almost frozen to death, his body was covered in cold sweat, and his teeth were clucking unconsciously!There is no way, this kind of pressure from the soul is really unbearable, if not for not daring to disobey the order, Wang Meng would rather not see this mysterious weirdo for the rest of his life.

Danger!These two words were marked on this person's pale mask. This was Wang Meng's first impression after seeing this person, and it has not changed now.

"You still need to practice!" The man said yin and yang strangely, a cold light burst out from the eyes of the mask.

"Subordinates... are really not good enough, Mr. Xie... wake up, you must practice more, don't... lose the face of the detective department!"

Um!The man nodded arrogantly, knowing it well. "For a cultivator at the God Blessing level, it's quite remarkable that he can still speak out completely after seeing himself. This Wang Meng is still worthy of training!" So he withdrew part of his coercion.

Wang Meng's complexion slowly returned to normal, and his heart became more awed.

The mysterious person is very satisfied with this effect. The art of imperialism has always been a combination of grace and power, and it is absolutely necessary to beat it once in a while!

He said lightly: "No. 99, Wucheng Secret Guard of the Detective Department, suddenly his breath disappeared, and I sensed that the place where he disappeared was in the Guest House of the City Lord's Mansion. He is the guard of Zilong City, and his name is Li Gang!

The lord of Zilong City seems to have been doing some tricks in secret in recent years. This Li Gang managed to break into his bodyguards. He has always been very concealed, but he was suddenly killed in Ziye City. I am afraid that he learned some great secrets. , was murdered!

Because I felt that he was killed in an instant, without even a trace of resistance!At least two Heaven's Punishment Peaks or one Heavenly Fate practitioner's assassination would have this result!So it goes without saying that his identity must have been exposed, but even if his identity is exposed, few of our detectives have the guts to clear him up like this. This is a provocation to my detective!
